We hiked to Braunschweig along snow-covered paths and fields. At one point, the GPS signal dropped, so we had to take a bit of a detour because we were somewhere else. I also suffered a minor sprained ankle while helping someone push their stuck car. We took the bus back because it was getting late

I started this morning in a balmy two degrees Celsius. So I finally got to test out my new windproof/rainproof jacket. Great piece of kit – not too warm or cold, and it wicks away moisture well.

I did an unspectacular trip to Salzgitter. I had saved the route from someone else at some point, but I forgot to reschedule. I was wondering why I ended up in Ehmen, since the start and finish are obviously somewhere different from where I live. So I did a few extra kilometers.
